What are some of the general tips for travellers to Southern Louisiana during the COVID-19 outbreak?
COVID-19 may have changed the way we travel, but it hasn't curbed our passion for exploring. Here are some tips on how to cope with travel's new challenges:
  • Understand what rules and restrictions apply to both your destination and origin. You may not be able to travel depending on local circumstances, so make sure you check in advance.
  • Keep your face mask on even during airport screening. A TSA officer will ask you to temporarily lower your mask for ID purposes.
  • To minimize the risk of cross-contamination, position your boarding pass on the scanner yourself and then hold it up for inspection. Do not hand your boarding pass directly to a TSA agent.
  • One liquid hand sanitizer container is now permitted in your carry-on luggage. It must be no larger than 12 oz (350 ml), and you'll have to take it out of your bag at the X-ray machine for scanning.
  • Remove personal items from your pockets, like your wallet, keys and phone, and put them in your carry-on instead of the bins. This will reduce handling during screening.
  • If you're planning to take food through the screening checkpoint, place it in a clear plastic bag and then into a screening bin. This reduces the likelihood that a TSA officer will need to touch your food container or carry-on bag for closer inspection.
